::: THE OPTIMISM OF REASON
Hope and trust. These are the feelings with which we prepare ourselves to face
the coming months. The slogan "rigor, growth, equity," attributed to the new italian
government Monti, has little to do with rhetoric and everything to do with
the optimism of reason. What we expect in the short term, is a reconciliation between
political forces, Italy, the citizens. Governance that goes back to being the
heart of democracy. «The crisis - as the new executive has reported to Parliament
- not just Italian, but more strongly affects our country more than any other hard
to find a way out». If the euro fails, the whole Eurozone is in peril. Many of the difficulties
faced by Europe in the management of crises arising from defects in
administration of public affairs. Surely we must make major changes to EU rules
and it is essential that as soon as Italy to stop being considered the weak link in
the chain and can resume its rightful place in the Community decision-making
bodies, because if you let others decide everything for it is said that they have at
heart the interests of our country.
And so, the policy reassured that the Government technical - it would be better
to call it a national commitment - not a substitute to the Parliament and political
parties, and clarified our interests and our goals with regard to Europe in which
we identify, professor Monti also indicated in outline the actions that his government
intends to pursue. There has been talk of "politics of the two times" first
oriented to face the emergency, and then launch a general plan for the modernization
of facilities indispensable for economic growth. In fact the two should go
hand in hand, given that the emergency measures must be such as to contain
structural features that are effective in the longer term, but which are necessary
to influence the expectations of investors, who tend not only to immediate result
of their choices but also to sustainability over time of their investment.
The main emphasis of the new government seems to have been placed on
growth. «Sacrifices have been there - Monti said - and there will be. They must be
made in the name of fairness, equity is not going to calculate this only with regard
to social and political groups stronger and more organized, but also to all
those who do not have the strength to join, such as youth and women, the two
great wealth wasted in this country». Mounti on the concrete measures it chose
not to go into details, although he cited most of the chapters, from time to debate
the reasons, from cost-cutting reorganization of the political administration,
privatization to deregulation, to tax evasion emergence of undeclared work.
With regard to the labor market, the Government
has stressed that, with the consent of social partners,
we will proceed to the equalization of a situation
which currently sees a dualism between unacceptable
and uneconomic to those who are too
protected and who is not at all. While in favor of
companies, the newly elected president of the
Council will move to move closer to the trading
companies and to reduce taxation on labor and
business in order to recover a little productions of
competitiveness of Italy. That the word change back
in the Italian vocabulary?
